[Trlog] ICOM post #2

[Robert Brandon]

TR wants the receiver address in regular base 10 numbers.  The Icom rigs,
however, display the address in hexadecimal.  (The "h" in the Icom display
is just a tag to remind you that the number is in hex.)  You can use the
Windows calculator to convert numbers.  Choose View, Scientific.  Click the
HEX radio button and enter 66 as shown on the Icom menu.  Then click the DEC
button, and you'll see the number that TR needs, in this case 102.

So I have my Icoms and my interfaces.  I hooked it all up, and now I find
some odd and incorrect behavior which I hope some of you TR-Icom Gurus can
straighten me out on quickly.  Surely the program works perfectly if only I
knew how to use it, right?

Icom 746 PRO

I have the baud rate in the radio set to 4800 and TRlog set also to 4800.

Then there's this "RADIO ONE RECEIVER ADDRESS" - it says to use "86" for an
IC746PRO, but the IC746PRO has a user-selectable address currently set to
"66h" or something which I don't think is "base 10" (per manual).  Anyway I
put

RADIO ONE RECEIVER ADDRESS = 86

When I turn it all on, TRlog's band info is wrong, it says "NONCW" or
something.  I turn the knob, and the frequency numbers come up correctly on
the TRlog screen, but even though it says "7048.5" TRlog still says "NONCW".
I stop turning, and the numbers go away.  I turn again and the numbers
appear again, tracking correctly.  I change bands on the radio, and TRlog
does not change bands.  I change bands on TRlog and the radio doesn't track
the bandchange.

Sooooo, I'm wondering what I have done wrong.  Any tips?  I would like to
get it all working prior to Field Day if possible.  Thanks in advance.

Mark, N5OT
